Outdoor Cam - I'm a bit underwhelmed

[sodcam]

@absilversmith

I have about a dozen wyze devices all over my house (big distances and stone walls) and an extender takes care of my farther away devices just fine.
So how do I use the outdoor cam when my router is in a house addition (not the main house), with a stone wall and 75 ’ away?

Does the extender have an ethernet port?

Outdoor cam . Why a base station?

or wifi extender that has a ethernet port [IMG_20191215_133430]

or

Base station

You’ll need a wireless bridge. I’m a fan of this one… (20$ US amazon) https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-mt300n-v2/ Basically, the wireless radio in the little router connects to your wifi network as a client, Then, you’ll connect the Wyze base station to the LAN port on the router using an Ethernet cable. I’m a fan of that piece of hardware specifically because it runs OpenWRT / LEDE in the advanced UI.
